TIME.
BY CLINTON sCoLLARp.

 Time-thou that hadst the light for thy beginning, Springing from darkness with the first day s morn, Thou art endowed with wings for swifter winning
 Thy way through starlit space than aught else bornl From world to world upon thine unseen pin ions,
 With mighty sweep thou silently dost soar The boundaries that gird thy vast dominions Are set upon eternity's wide shore. Thy voice is inarticulate, yet awful, Thou art invisible, yet we feel thy breath And those that walk not within pathways lawful
 Grovel and cover before thy courier, Death Pitiless thou art and wilt not hearken, Howe'er 80 humbly do thy suppliants pray Thou wilt not tarry, though the morrow darken
 The glorious brightness of glad today. Thou knowest mans remotest generations, And yet this hour thou art the same as Then The earliest of all created nations Bore burdens since endured by countless men. Unchan geable thy self, thou hast beholden The moulding and the wasting of huge spheres, And to thy president vision naught Is olden Though hoar with the antiquit of years.

They Understood English.
Galignani's Messenger.

For the benefit of many Amercians who, because they do not speak French, imagine that no one in Paris understands English but themselves, here are portraits of myself and wife as sketched by two young ladies from the States who sat opposite us the other day in an omnibus at Versailles.
 "She would be really pretty if her nose wasn't such a narrow escape from pug, wouldn't she?"
 "Yes, she would so. Isn't she styl- ish? l declare if her dress isn't made on the same model as the one I have ordered at Pomeroy'sw "How do you suppose she ever could marry that image sitting beside her? They seem so fond of each other, too"
 "Oh, the Lord only knows. I ex- pect he had money or a title. But, goodness alive, I wouldn't marry such chimpanzee if he were covered with diamonds and was a."
 Here the omnibus stopped, and, as helped my wife to alight, I said in as Addisonian English as Icouh com mand:
 My darling, have never regretted that you brought all the money into the family so much as do this min- ute"
 As we walked laughingly away, took glimpse at those young Phila- delphia ladies out of the corner of my eye, and l don't think ever saw any body look cheaper. It kept them busy lodging us through the grounds that afternoon, and l rather i,n:line to the belief that they spoiled their owI pleasure by their own little tongues

 kline, and if so to what extent, etc., to hand. In reply will say that my health has not been as good in twenty years as now. I suffered with chills from malarlal poison contracted while serving in the Confederate army on the Peninsular Campaigns in Vir- ginia. Did not miss having chill at least once in twenty-one days, and more frequently once in seven days. for more than fifteen years.
 In this condition I visited New York in November, 1885, on business. While there stopped with Mir. E. D. Barker, of the University Publish ing Company. told Mir. Barker or my condition. He called my atten- tion to your Kaskine and procured for me bottle. After my return home l took the. pellets as directed and found much relief afforded thereby. Of this change I wrote Mr. Barker, who sent two or three bottles during the past year. My health greatly i'm proved. 1 increased in weight from 165 pounds to 200 pounds, my pres- ent weight. I believe the Kaskine did it. Quinine had failed, as had other remedies usually administered in such cases.
 Now, unless ill case of exposure to extra bad weather, do not have chills. and my general health is quite good. l turned over half bottle to young lady friend few weeks since. I learn from her mother that she was much benefited by it while it lasted.
 1 trust you may be able to intro- duce Kaskine generally in this coun- try, ill which many suffer from dis eases consequent upon malarial poison in the system. From my own expe- rience can emphasize its excellence for such diseases. If can serve you, call on me. am, very truly yours,
 JOHN c. SCARBOROUGH.
 Seven years ago I had an attack of bilious remlttent fever, which ran into intermittent malarial. tried all the known remedies, such as arsenic, mercury and quinine The latter was administered to me in heavy and con- tinued doses. Malaria brought on nervous prostration and dyspepsia, from which I suffered everything. Last winter I heard of Kaskine and began using it. A few bottles of the wonderful drug cured me. Malaria and dyspepsia disappeared, and as you have seen a June day brighter for the summer storm that had passed across the sky, so the cloud left my life and my health became steady and strong.
 MRS. J. LAWSON,

 MT. Gideon Thompson, the oldest and one of the most respected citizens Of Bridgeport, Conn.,, says: q am ninety years of age, and for the last three years have suffered from malaria and the effects of quinine poisoning. l recently began with Kaskine, which broke up the malaria and increased my weight twenty-two pounds"
 Other letters of similar character from prominent individuals, which stsmp Kaskine as remedy of un- doubted merit, will be sent on appli- cation. Price $1.0O, or six bottles, $500. Sold by Druggists, or sent by mail on receipt of price.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From OlT Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON. Jan. II, 1887

was in session only three days and
the House four. Besides Il good
deal of other private legislation the
Senate pensioned the widow OF
General Logan at $4,000 Il year.
secretly discussed the Mexican Re
ciprocity treaty, and debated the
important pending bill OH Inter
state Commerce, the Honse passed
three of the regular Appropriation
bills, several dozen private pension
bills, and discussed bills on the
Public Buildings and Naval Reor-
ganiZation. But what should be
emphasized in the work of a Demo
cratic House is the passage, with
out opposition, and without any
provision for Confederate soldiers.
OF pension bill for the current
year appropriating over s76,OOO,000.
This amount is nearly as much as
were the entire expenses OF the
government before the war, and it
ought to put the Republican ranters
of the last Presidential campaign
to the blush, if anything could.
Democratic close fstedness, indeed.
Wherein does it consist
Senator Beck has by no means
given up his intention of pushing
his bill to prohibit members Of
Congress from acting as attorneys
tor railroads which have received
Government aid, although his long
silence had led some of the rail
road Senators to hope that they
would not again be confronted by
this bugbear. 1t is a sore trial for
them to have to face this dreadful
measure, especially since they
know it is urged forward BY pIac-
tically unanimous public sentiment.
The debate on the Interstate Com
merce bill is being long drawn out
in the Senate as a shield to keep
Mr.. Beck oft, but even 1t must
come to an end when all the speak
ers have made their speeches for or
against it.
1t seems that the Revenue Re
form question is really coming to
the front now, and that another
effort will be made to reach those
surplus millions. This time it will
be by the internal revenue men,
Mr. Randall and his followers.
They will advocate that the whole
of the tobacco tax be removed, that
the tax on alcohol used in the arts
be abolished, and that fruit bran
dies be relieved of tax, but as to
whether they will attempt any
Tariff alterations, no one can pre-
diet. The Members Of Congress
from tobacco producing states feel
that it is duty they owe their con
stitueuts to vote for the repeal of
the Internal tax on tobacco in al
most any shape that it might be
presented.
These are exciting days for the
Senators whose terms expire on the
fourth Of March, and there are
many indications that the Senate
will be much changed after that
time, but whether or not it will be
improved in character or ability is
an open question. Senator Conger
Of Michigan, who has been in pub
Tic life for thirty-two years, is to be
succeeded by Col. Stockbridge, be-
cause the latter is a richer man.
The long bearded Republican mil
lionaire from Nevada, Mr.. ". NJ.
Stewart, is coming back for another
term. No one objects to him, how
ever, us he was rather lively man
IN the Senate, and having q pre-
tentious looking residence here,
takes a good deal of interest in the
improvement OF Washington city.
